Today we’d like to introduce you to Tameka Baptiste
Hi Tameka, we’re thrilled to have a chance to learn your story today. So, before we get into specifics, maybe you can briefly walk us through how you got to where you are today?
Relax, Relate & Real Estate, LLC represents my dedication to uplifting my community. During the pandemic, I embraced self-care, I become a certified 200-Hour Yoga and 100-Hour Meditation Teacher. This expertise enabled me to help others manage stress and enhance mental well-being.
With over 25 years of experience in event planning, my creativity has shone through my former company, *6th Sense Events, LLC*, where I hosted events, customized products, and officiated weddings across North Carolina and South Carolina.
As a licensed NC & SC REALTOR®, I am committed to guiding clients toward homeownership. I have organized homebuyer seminars, providing education on the home-buying process and ongoing ownership responsibilities. I offer comprehensive services for buyers and sellers in NC & SC, combining my expertise in real estate and community-focused approach.
We all face challenges, but looking back would you describe it as a relatively smooth road?
Absolutely not! Nothing in life comes easy. Choosing to own a small business requires a tremendous amount of effort, research, and an ongoing commitment. However, when you’re passionate about what you do, it’s undeniably rewarding. From writing my first business plan to serving my first client, there was a lot that went into it. And let’s not forget the mountain of paperwork involved—seriously, so much paperwork, lol!
Over the past year, I’ve focused primarily on my work as a real estate agent in the Coastal Carolinas. While health challenges and venue changes required me to temporarily step back from some of my other services, this shift allowed me to fully dedicate myself to guiding clients through the home buying and selling process. This year marks a major milestone—my 10th anniversary in real estate—and I’m embarking on an exciting new chapter as the NC Broker-in-Charge at Welcome Home Realty. I’m honored to support fellow agents, grow our team, and extend our impact in the community.
As you know, we’re big fans of you and your work. For our readers who might not be as familiar what can you tell them about what you do?
I provide a range of services throughout Coastal NC and SC, with my primary focus currently on real estate. I’m also eager to resume teaching Yoga to the community once I secure a new location. Known as *“The Melanated Realtor Yogini,”* I help individuals find balance—whether it’s by improving their mental and physical well-being through Yoga or providing expert real estate guidance. I pride myself on listening carefully, offering tailored advice, and connecting clients with trusted professionals as needed.
When I started teaching Yoga in Myrtle Beach, many of my students were beginners experiencing Yoga for the first time. Watching their growth and seeing their confidence build week after week was incredibly fulfilling. Taking time for self-care and quiet reflection is a challenge, but it’s so worthwhile.
In real estate, I’m passionate about helping clients achieve their goals—whether they’re buying or selling. I work diligently to ensure they secure the property they want at a price that fits their needs. Their satisfaction means everything to me, and I bring both patience and humor to help navigate the ups and downs of any real estate transaction.
Is there something surprising that you feel even people who know you might not know about?
I’m also a Spoken Word Artist. I started writing poetry in elementary school and never stopped. It was about 2 or 3 years ago I mentioned that I wrote poetry to a local friend and she pretty much challenged me to do Spoken Word at her upcoming event and I had my Debut. Fortunately it was well received and I’ve been requested a few times since then.
